So, I'm binge watching, "The Man in the High Castle". NO SPOILERS.

I find the show fascinating for some odd reason. However, not all of the storylines are compelling. Some of the things that some of the characters do is just plain stupid.

All in all, it's a very interesting show.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah. That's frustrating me as well. Yavin4 Mar 2020 #8

The lead character, Julia, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever Yavin4 Mar 2020 #9

It was intriguing from a "fantasy" alternate universe perspective. Fla Dem Mar 2020 #10

I thought to myself how entertaining this was, this FANTASY...

Then Putin stole the election for Rump and it didnt take long that I realized the show was becoming our actual life, fast forward to now and wow.

Our president is actually preventing blue states from getting equipment, to kill us.

Cant watch the show anymore, not because it isnt well done, it is. But because it is no longer fantasy.

Enjoy!

Sad that it ended, but well worth the time. Fascinating concept.

(the fact that it ended....hope THAT wasn't a spoiler!!)

The main character's behavior was maddening and implausible, to me...

It's really poorly written. Really poor.

Found the 1st season the most watchable. Had a pretty straight forward storyline. The 2nd season, at least for me, got a bit confusing with the jumping back and forth between the different universes. Didn't realize what was happening at the time. The last season tied up some loose ends. Strongest characters were John Smith, his wife, Helen Smith and Juliana Crain who was supposed to be the main character and the thread throughout the series. But found her story to be a bit unwieldy.
